Dedication

To everyone who can see the human kaleidoscope and all those who want to.

Foreword by Sylvia S. Davi

TRICIA AND I go back a long way. I wouldn’t venture a guess as to how long, but certainly before either of us were born into this lifetime.

We met, as so many of us do now, online. At that time, I had a coaching practice, Exquisite Life Coaching, was working on a 3-year spiritual book project as editor, and was guiding people through workshops and seminars.

I created a blog in 2010 on WordPress called Exquisite Transitions. I soon came across Tricia’s blog, Escorting the Dead, and we came to recognize each other through our blogs. I was so impressed with Tricia’s cache of published books and dedication to sharing her insight into worlds I knew little about. My own spiritual growth had been more sensing and feeling what was happening in the here and now in comparison to the energetic experiences that Tricia was able to make comprehensible.

Tricia’s experiences and gifts gives her insight into arenas that many of us are interested in but have yet to encounter within ourselves. In this latest book, All About Auras, she shares such depth of understanding and insight that newcomers to the topic have a great deal to take in to truly appreciate the depth of insight and wisdom that opening to experiencing auras affords us. I say experiencing as there is a tendency to assume that one must see auras, but as is so often true of all things metaphysical (energetic), this can come through any of our physical senses, as well as those which I refer to as sensing or knowing.

All About Auras and its indispensable accompanying reference guide is just what the spiritual doctor ordered to get in deeper touch with our self and others. Together, they make for unique and important tools and resources for anyone interested in the treasure trove of information that can be discerned by accessing our energetic fields.

Beyond the seeing, which is what most of us focus on when it comes to auras, Tricia takes us far deeper to soul choices, interactions with others, and outside influences on us through our energetic fields. As you take in the richness of information Tricia has distilled here, you, the reader, will recognize that you have vastly more experience in working with these fields than you realized. Recognizing this will support you in expanding upon those experiences and learning to interpret the ones which may have mystified, you until now!

My own 40-plus-year journey has brought me to the point of working with the energetics behind the psychology, philosophy, new age doctrine, and hundreds of modalities available in our ever-expanding wealth of metaphysical and multidimensional connections. Whether this is the first step on your personal path or the latest, you will make of it what you choose.

Is it acquiring an ability that you seek? You certainly have valuable tools to do so here. If it’s validation for what you’ve been experiencing, regardless of the modalities you’ve been using, you will certainly find it. I am grateful that I have found deeper insights into the energetic realms that have been my playground in recent years. Thank you for that, Tricia, and so much more!

Introduction

MOST OF US have heard of auras—the bio-energy layers surrounding each of us. However, many people never think about them. Maybe it’s because most people can’t see, hear, taste, or feel these energies, which automatically puts auras, and everything associated with them, in the realm of make-believe or pseudo-science.

However, someone’s inability to recognize the bio-energies surrounding each of us isn’t because auras aren’t real, it’s because the person isn’t open to the experience. Not everyone is, and that’s okay.

But for anyone who is curious about auras and chakras and wants to learn about them from someone who does see and sense them, then this is the book for you.

As a sensitive and intuitive, I am quite open to what my aura and the bio-energies of others have to say. That’s not to say I hear or see everything all the time. I have learned to push the information to the background, much as you might push the noise from a party you’re attending into the back of your awareness while you engage in a conversation.

But when I want to, I can become as aware of the information from my aura and the energies of those around me as I am of my hand or fingers.

Although I grew up detecting auras, anyone can learn to sense them. The key is to let go of the fear that prevents you from hearing what your aura is telling you. As you read this book, I will try to help you let go of those fears.

Auras are nothing to fear, nor is the information they contain. If you learn to listen to your aura, you would know what your body required in terms of nutritional input, and you would be able to more easily stop those negative thought loops that echo through your mind all the time—you know the ones I mean, those I’m no good at that, so I shouldn’t even try types of mental loops.

By learning to listen to your own bio-energies, you would also be more aware of your intentions as you speak or act. (Are you really doing something because it’s the decent thing to do, or are you hoping someone will come over and give you a pat on the back for being so giving?)

You might find decisions are easier to make as you see the path of your life more clearly. You would also be able to see what past lives are affecting your current life, which would make it easier for you to avoid the same fears and traps that tripped you up before.

And once you get accustomed to reading or listening to your own aura, you could start looking at and listening to others’ bio-energy fields. Just think how much calmer meetings could be if you could sense the intentions behind someone’s words and actions.

There is so much information in auras, and all of it is available to each of us, if we just take the time to look and listen.

1 - Multi-Layered Energy Fields

I WAS IN elementary school when I first discovered auras; although at that time I didn’t know what they were, let alone what they were called. They were just strange, multi-layered wavering fields of light that surrounded people.

They reminded me of those heat shimmers you would sometimes see on the paved roads in summer. A sort of visual distortion with smears and swipes of color that flowed and spiked around people, encapsulating them like a force field in a science fiction story.

So, how did I gain this ability to see these phantasmical wonders? Through a skating mishap.

A Pretty Kaleidoscope of Colors

I had just received a pair of figure skates for the holidays, and despite my ineptitude when it came to athletic activities, I was eager to try them out.

I immediately headed out to the swampy area across from our house. The thin skim of water was frozen, and the reeds were cut back to leave a bumpy, but serviceable ice rink. The older kids were swatting a hockey puck around at one end of the ice, while one or two youngsters from the neighborhood were circling the lumpy ice, their knees and ankles wobbling wildly.

I pulled on my skates, tightened the laces, and headed out to join those shaky and unsteady kids. With legs trembling and arms pinwheeling, I tried to remain upright. As I attempted to skate around the edge of the pond, I hit one of the larger bumps of reeds. My arms spun crazily as I tried to remain on my feet. But down I went. The back of my head smacked the ice, and everything went black.

I came to, groggy and confused. I looked around and tried to remember why I was sitting on the ice shivering. With a headache the size of Texas, I struggled to my feet. Eyes down, I pretended that nothing had happened as I skate-walked back to where I had started.

Luckily, no one seemed to be paying the least bit of attention to me and I plopped down on the log at the edge of the ice. I pulled off the mittens that my mom had knitted for me, and with half-frozen fingers, I plucked at the knotted laces of the skates.

I glanced up to make sure everyone was still ignoring me, and my fingers stopped mid-pluck. Each person had a brilliant kaleidoscope of colors surrounding them. I blinked several times, but the colors stayed. Disconcerted and with a headache sharp enough to cause nausea, I finally worked the laces loose. Yanking the skates off as quickly as I could, I shoved my feet into my boots.

I grabbed my skates, but forgot all about the mittens, which I left sitting on the log, and trudged home through the snowdrifts.

I snuck in through the back door, and swiftly made it upstairs to my bedroom. With the door closed, I sank onto my half-made bed. Questions collided like pinballs in my brain adding to my already throbbing head. Why could I see these colors? Did others see colors, too? And if other people could see these rainbows, why had they never said anything?

I held up my hand and admired the strange multicolored lights surrounding it. Did the fall make this happen? If so, would it go away once the pain stopped? These questions and more filled my head.

Suspicious when I declined lunch, my mother soon got the truth out of me...or at least some of it. I told her what had happened; however, I left out the part about the shimmering bubbles of color surrounding everyone.

She rushed me to the doctor, who said I had a concussion. According to him, I would be okay after a couple days of rest.

And he was right, at least as far as he and my mother knew. The lump and headache did clear up after a couple of days. However, the colored lights remained.

With the visual kaleidoscope still surrounding everyone, I needed answers. For me, that meant books. I knew I could trust books to give me answers without judging me or embarrassing me.

However, I didn’t find the answers right away. Our library was just a small one, so much of my research consisted of asking the research librarian to order books and magazines from the big library located in the nearby city.

She got me a multitude of books and magazines on science, spirituality, the paranormal, and anything else I thought might help.

This journey of exploration and discovery has taken years, but throughout this lifetime I’ve had the help of hundreds of people. I’ve gained information and insight from libraries, library associates, researchers, teachers, and other interesting and informative people that I’ve met and interacted with. I’ve also managed to access several lifetimes of knowledge that I had forgotten about until it was triggered by something I’ve read, a discussion I’ve had, or some experience I’ve had.

The result of this quest for understanding is the awareness that seeing lights around people isn’t some secret power. It’s an attribute most people have simply forgotten they possess.

But what did my fall on the ice have to do with suddenly being able to see auras? That took a bit longer to find out.

2 - Using Your Internal GPS

WHILE I DIDN’T know it at the time, the fall on the ice triggered something in my brain; something that turned off my personal GPS. (I believe it’s why I still can’t find my way out of my own living room without help.)

By inactivating my own internal GPS, I was able to shift focus from the Physical world to the spiritual (or Astral) world in the blink of an eye. But not understanding what had happened, left me straddling the line between both worlds without any control or understanding of what I was doing. (And while I still do straddle the Physical and the Astral, at least now I have some control over it, since I finally learned what was happening.)

Back then, I was left with a puzzling, yet fascinating view of the world. It was a view that was, at times, like looking through a foggy haze, and, at other times, was like looking through a shimmer of colors.

I can’t say exactly when I learned to control it. All I know is when the visual input of that colorful world grew too much for me, I would close my eyes and wish it away. Eventually, it began to work, and soon, I was able to wish it back or gone as I wanted.

It was also during this time of learning how to cope with my bizarre view of the world that I found some interesting information in some psychology and physics magazines at the library.

Spatial Awareness

The magazines contained articles regarding some brain scan studies that were being conducted on monks and mystics who go into deep trances. The scientists conducting the experiments expected to gain insight as to which areas of the brain were activated during these periods of heightened awareness. However, what the scientists discovered was that no new areas of the brain were activated. Instead, the spatial awareness section of the brain was inactivated. In fact, it became totally dark and unused.

Without an active spatial awareness section in our brains, we have no way to distinguish between what is us and what is someone else. We also do not recognize the boundaries between the Physical world and the Astral. Instead, we see everything as one large, connected energy pattern. There is no longer a feeling of place and time or of a separate you and me; there is only a feeling of connectedness and oneness.

Using MRI’s and brain scans during remote viewing and OBE (out of body experience) experiments, scientists found comparable results. Each time the participant claimed to have launched themselves free of their bodies, the spatial recognition area of their brains was shut down, and it didn’t become active again until the participants indicated that they had returned.

During their travels, other portions of their minds were triggered, such as the visual cortex (even though the physical body had its eyes closed). The scientists claimed all these results showed that something real was happening. To the scientist, it indicated that although the body remained fixed in place, the mind—and perhaps more than the mind—traveled somewhere else. Yet, because the visual, audio, and mental portions of the body were being used, there was still some portion of us that remain connected.

The basic conclusion was that with the internal GPS turned off, a person was no longer situated just where their body was. Instead, a part of them (let’s call it their awareness) was able to expand outward to any given coordinates whether on Earth or in space. These people were able to give accurate reports as to what they saw, heard, and experienced, yet their bodies never left the researchers’ sight.

A rare few of these travelers or viewers were even able to sense emotions of those in the target area. Some even reported being able to touch people and things in the target area (confirmed by speaking with the target people who said they felt a push or hug during the experiment).

Physicians, psychologists, and psychiatrists performing similar experiments found that this awareness not only transcended physical space, but also time. They discovered that subjects were able to wholly experience and describe in full detail and with verifiable accuracy events that happened in the past and events that were to occur in the future.

When the experimenters for remote viewing, out of body experiences, and life regressions pushed further, they found that their subjects existed in more realities and dimensions than just the Physical. While multiple realities and dimensions weren’t so verifiable, the information gleaned through quantum physics and quantum mechanics does bear them out in theory...if not in fact.

See the All About Auras Reference Guide, Exercise 1 – Manually Controlling Your Internal GPS, for exercises on controlling your spatial awareness.

Just What are Auras?

These same psychology and physics magazines that spoke about remote viewing and spatial awareness, also mentioned (but only in passing)
